Hi all!
Last week my C2D, which is running with BOINCpe, started to get only one WU per request, although much more work is requested and I did not change the preferences. There are two projects attached: Pirates@Home and PrimeGrid.
Here's a part from the logfile:

...and so on...
At that time I was using BOINC 5.8.15, I updated to 5.10.13 at first, now 5.10.18, but still the same behaviour (my other host's are running fine and getting lots of PG-WUs per request). I also tried different prefs, but nothing changed.

Today I discovered <connected_frac>-1.000000</connected_frac> in the client_state.xml. Because this is the only difference form my other host's (there it is 0), I think that this is the reason.

I tried to manually set it to different values from 0 to 1 (client closed before that), but after restarting the client, it was -1 again.

The connected frac should have nothing to do with anything. It is suposed to measure how often you are connected to the internet, but it has never worked properly on *nix and is not reliable on windows. So as far as I know it is ignored. The other time stats may have a bearing on your problem though.

The other time stats are normal, and since this is the only difference to my other hosts, I thought this might be the problem.
OK, this host is running WinXP on a RAM Disk, while the other ones are on Win2k, but before last week it worked well...

I will test another project, as soon as I can access it again, to see if it is a problem with the host and/or PrimeGrid's server-update.
